I´m so sorry for your loss. I didn´t know Candy well, but she was always a ray of sunshine when I saw her. She bought several of my stained glass pieces- it was my pleasure to know her.

I unfortunately only knew Candy a few years. She was a kind, sweet, gentle soul and I loved her free spirit. My dogs adored her as did I. She was always so gentle with them. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. May she rest in peace. This guy was one of her favorites.

I knew the Trent family and remember Candy as a sweet little girl, saucy teenager and beautiful woman with an amazing spirit. Harry and I were good friends and I saw how David and Roger adored their baby sister. Charlotte was a lovely person and treated Candy like a doll, her Daddy did too. Harry married Sonja and she was good to Candy. I remember Savannah as a baby and I took pictures of the two of them. I hope the photos still exist. I have so many happy memories of being welcome in the Trent home, there were always kids in the house. I´m sorry I lost touch with Candy in these later years. Her passing saddens me greatly. Condolences
